Devin Townsend Project begins where Ziltoid the Omniscient left off, with Devin Townsend at the helm. The project is a planned four-album series. Rather than a specific line-up of musicians, as he utilized in The Devin Townsend Band, and rather than performing the entirety of the music himself, as in Ziltoid the Omniscient, the Devin Townsend Project will feature a number of different musicians for each album.

The first album, Ki, was released in May 2009. For Ki, Townsend recruited veteran jazz drummer Duris Maxwell, local bassist Jean Savoie, and the former keyboardist for The Devin Townsend Band, Dave Young. Devin has also recruited Ché Dorval as an additional vocalist.

The second release is titled Addicted. Intended to be a heavy, simplistic, and straightforward rock album, it serves as the bridge from the quieter Ki to the expected zany metal tones of the album following it. The line-up for this album was Ryan Van Poederooyen (also a veteran of The Devin Townsend Band) on the drums, another member of the DTB Brian Waddell on the bass, and Anneke van Giersbergen (notable from The Gathering, Agua De Annique and Ayreon) on guest vocals.

There was an EP released in early 2011. It was only available online (free to download) and named European Tour EP. It featured five live songs, mostly consisting of material from Devin Townsend’s solo albums. See more here: http://www.discogs.com/Devin-Townsend-Project-European-Tour-EP/release/2718333

    Depends on what you count as an album. Solo material wise he has 14 studio albums released so far. 16 if you count the ass-sordid demos, 20 if you count the three EPs (Christeen, Project EKO and DTP Live). 23 if you count the three live albums (Official Bootleg, Unplugged, By a Thread). 27 if you count the four upcoming albums (Epicloud, Casualties of Cool, Ghost 2, Z2). 32 if you count Strapping Young Lad's 5 studio LPs. 34 if you count SYL's EPs, C:Enter:### and Tour EP. 37 if you count the three SYL live albums. 38 if you count the Chaos Years Live Album compilation. 39 if you count IR8. And 40 if you count Steven Vai's Sex and Religion.............

    "My friend and jedi master Devin Townsend just finished mixing his forthcoming “Epicloud” album, make sure you stay hip to that eventual release, no way is it gonna be anything but glorious." - From Greg Puciato.

    The solo on Ho Krll has one of my favorite Devin solos.

    That's a shame. It's pretty killer.

    I don't think much of Ho Krll...
